I just received an opportunity to volunteer at a free clinic to work as an exam room coordinator. Essentially my duties involve helping patients with their appointments, chart information, relaying information to doctors/nurses etc. and communicating with patients about the next steps, and helping the MA etc. I was also given an opportunity to start scribing for this clinic 2-3 months from now as there is no availability at the moment.
Will this count as clinical work? I was told the role will be everchanging, due covid things are slowly picking up and they are figuring out where help will be needed the most, but it does involve constant patient interaction and communication.
Will it also look bad if I start scribing so late and am applying this cycle?
I really want to pursue this opportunity because it is a great clinic that does a lot of meaningful work for those who struggle with access to healthcare due to financial difficulties.
